     more than 40% of the bridges in conventional korean railway lines are track-on steel-plate-girder (tospg) bridges. they are characterized by a superstructure consisting of railway tracks sitting directly on steel plate girders without any ballast system. most of these bridges have been designed with little or no consideration given to seismic loading. in this paper, seismic fragility curves of tospg bridges in korea are developed. fragility curves are developed first for the components, by using the probabilistic seismic demand model. the developed component fragility curves show that the bearings are the most vulnerable components of the tospg bridges against seismic loading. on the other hand, the piers are much less vulnerable, although they contain no reinforcing bars. this is because the superstructure mass is very light, and therefore horizontal loading transferred from the superstructure to the piers is minimal. a generic damage measure is introduced for measuring the system-level damage of structures out of the component-level damages. the system fragility curves are then developed, using the generic damage measure. finally, representation of seismic risk in terms of expected seismic losses is demonstrated. this demonstration shows how the fragility analysis is utilized for risk assessment and support in decision-making.
